[Verse 1: Derek Shulman]
I peel the paint, look underneath
You'll see the same, the same old savage beast
Strip the coats, the coats of time
And find mad eyes and see those sharpened teeth
Nothing's been learned, no nothing at all
And don't be fooled, get up before you fall

[Verse 2: Derek Shulman]
A carnal grave, a crawling smooth
Open flesh and you must let him in
Glass reflects of what you are
It shows the face, the evil face of sin
Nothing's been learned, no nothing at all
And don't be fooled, get up before you fall

[Instrumental Break 1:10–2:51]

[Verse 3: Derek Shulman]
I lost my head, forget what I said
What's the use to try to deny it
I didn't think it would ever happen again
Wondering why, once bitten, twice shy
Never thought again would I try it
And even though maybe soon it would end
[Verse 4: Derek Shulman]
Wanting to stop but had to go on
Give a little part of my person
And don't reflect, don't remember what I said
I was afraid and I stayed away
Making sure of my independence
Isn't it true that I lost my head?

[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
Took my time and I didn't rush into anything
Showed my face, just forgetting myself, oh everything

[Verse 5: Derek Shulman]
Everything's true, but everything lies
It's so hard to try to explain it
It doesn't matter, it happened anyway
And for the time while someone is mine
I'll go on won't try to contain it
And even though it could finish any day

[Verse 6: Derek Shulman]
I lost my head, so glad that I made
Right or wrong, I made the decision
To take my chances, give out something of me
How will I feel, tomorrow not real
Trying to avoid a collision
I lost my head, but today I can see
[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
Took my time and I didn't rush into anything
Showed my face, just forgetting myself, oh everything
I lost my head

[Verse 3: Derek Shulman]
I lost my head, forget what I said
What's the use to try to deny it
I didn't think it would ever happen again
Wondering why, once bitten, twice shy
Never thought again would I try it
And even though maybe soon it would end
